Packet A-bis Over TDM

- Benefits

Operator Can utilize the existing installed TDM Infrastructure.

This Feature offers significant BW Savings in comparison with Traditional
TDM Transport. Feature such OSC or EDAP Enhancement can be fully introduced without increasing the backhaul BW requirement. Offering Significant Saving In OPEX due to cost effective physical Media. Cost Reduction Due to Simplified Operations: Like Very Minimal Configuration changes in A-bis Interface in case air interface is changed for example BTS in upgraded with New TRXs. A-bis BW can be gained with PoTDM : -Removing unnecessary bits and header information - All Traffic is pooled to the same BW. - BW Requirement is no longer constant and depends on actual need. - Saving due to shorter and less silence frames. BW Can be shared by CS-PS Traffic- There are no Pre-defined limitations except the Total BW provided by Physical Links.

ETP Capacity Information:

ETP can only handle either Packet A-bis over Ethernet connections or
Packet A-bis over TDM connection at the same time. ETP can handle maximum 256 BCFs. The mcETP can handle a maximum of 1100 BCFs. ETP can handle certain maximum amount of logical PCUs. Up to 32 logical PCU2-Ds can be connected to one ETPT. Up to 8 logical PCU2-Es can be connected to one ETPT. Up to 11 logical mcPCUs can be connected to one mcETP. One ETP card converts up to 8192 CS channels from A-ter/TRAU to Packet A-bis packets and vice versa. In Packet A-bis over Ethernet, A-bis signaling (TRXSIG, OMUSIG) between BCSUs and BTS sites is not going through ETPE in contrary to the Packet A-bis over TDM where the A-bis signaling is going through ETPT.
